On Wednesday, we made our very first visit to the Instituto Nacional General Francisco Menedez, one of the largest and most prestigious public schools in San Salvador. Students must apply for entrance in to this vocational high school, where they can major in nursing, tourism, business as well as several other careers. As always when we are at a school for the first time, Guillermo is anxious to see the reaction of the students, teachers and administration. We're happy to say that they were thrilled and invited us to return as soon as possible.
On Friday morning we visited a very poor school in Aguilares; a school which Pastor Manuel, Guillermo and I had visited the week prior to the campaign. The three of us visited with the principal and shared that we had about 100 handmade dresses to give to the girls in the school. The dresses were made by several of the ladies of First Baptist, Ferguson, so it was only fitting for the team to be able to distribute them when they were here. The team shared the lesson in the older grades; afterwards, at the principal's direction, we distributed the reversible dresses to some very happy little girls.
